Corporate Law Office Montreal

Project Story

When a leading international law firm was refurbishing its Canadian HQ the designers wanted to make the most of the amazing city views whist still ensuring the strictest of confidentiality for clients and staff when required. The top floor space needed the have the flexibility to accommodate casual client entertainment as well as highly confidential depositions and partner meetings.

To achieve the design brief the architects engaged Corflex, a highly innovative local company with a particular expertise in manufacturing unique operable glass walls and partitions. Corflex in turn engaged their trusted partner, Smartglass International, to help them to deliver a truly spectacular mechanically operated partition to give the space the flexibility it needed.

To complete the project Smartglass International manufactured 24 large insulating glass units (IGUs) comprising Privacy Smart Glass and tempered low iron glass with an overall thickened of 50.2mm. We worked with Corflex closely at every stage of the process to ensure that the wiring of the Smart Glass IGUs would be compatible with their product design and shipped the 3 tonnes (7,000lbs) of glass and accessories by air. Everything arrived in Montreal in time to meet the tight project deadlines. (Images courtesy of Corflex)
